Starcraft Match VS my teacher

So I'm in my third year in college, and my animation teacher saw me playing starcraft before class on the school computers.

So he challenges me in front of the whole class to a starcraft 1v1 battle, to which I of course accept.

At first I thought it would be a cakewalk since he probably doesn't know that much about the game and I'm D+/C- level, which is well above most bnet pubbies.

However, I've been hearing from upperclassmen that he played starcraft exclusively all through college, and that a company he used to work for (Buck) had starcraft tournaments weekly.

Lol I'm a little worried, the game goes down at 10 PM EST (3.5 hours from now)!

Wish me luck! It's gonna be PvP

UPDATE: I won 2 games in a row and he said I was out of his league ^.^

Here's the replays guys! He was a BGH noob, but oh well it was fun

is the game gonna be played during class on a projection screen? that would be awesome.

anyways, playing starcraft exclusively through college and having weekly work tournaments doesn't exactly always translate to skill...

10 PM isn't exactly class time, so no. We are planning on putting it on the big projection screen though. There are always at least 10 people in the animation lab working, and we've been telling everyone to come, so there should be a pretty nice audience (though probably only a third or so will understand what's going on).

I'm a little worried about the possibility of accidental cheating tbh. If we put it on the big screen, either one of us could see in the corner of our eye or turn our head to see what's happening, and even if we don't, if people exclaim things like "Oh a templar archives!!!!" or "Hey why are you building your pylon in the middle of the map?" it could obviously cause problems since we don't have sound proof booths ;P

That's why I'm planning on playing relatively standard to avoid getting screwed by spectators.

Post reps! It would be good to know the map he wants to use, you should try for something like Python or Lost Temple, in case he has a favorite map that you've never heard of. Also, you might be able to make some assumptions about his build order, based on when he was most competitive (although I don't know if PvP has ever really changed very much). Good luck to you ad your prof!

Ask him about progaming, if he doesnt know about progaming then its a good chance you can beat him easily.

My IT teacher in school was actually playing Bnet for years, years and years. 3v3ing on Hunters with his friends mostly, but he didn't refrain from 1v1ing either. He was a really cool guy as well.

Playing with him on IT courses / after school (with a few friends and other random people from the school) fueled my long-existant thrist for getting StarCraft for myself, at home.

This is sooo awesome
Complete the cycle!

How long ago was that? Low level Starcraft skill has increased so much in the past few years (especially since ICCup became popular) that if that was more than 3 or 4 years ago, tournaments like that shouldn't be a big deal.
